She sent the message and added an additional one to her friends. "I'm not back for long, but if you want to meet up, I'd love to see you again. How about Parkside Cafe in twenty minutes?" After she had sent this, she set her phone down and went to the bathroom, taking a shower and throwing away her old clothes. When she finished she got in some new clothes, short black shorts and a sand-colored off the shoulder t-shirt.

She locked her house and took her packed clothes and items, such as room decor, jewelry, kitchen appliances, putting them in the trunk of Riden's car. "Could you take me to Parkside Cafe?" She asked as she climbed into the passenger seat of his car.

"Only if you can tell me how to get there." He replied playfully and they were off.

She gave him directions and they were there in no time. "Thank you!" She smiled and walked into the cafe. She instantly saw six of her friends sitting at a table, waiting for her. "Hey, you guys!" Naida cheered and ran to them.

"Naida!" They cried and pulled her into their embrace, giving her a huge group hug.

"We've missed you so much!" Ryla howled, earning disgruntled looks from the tables around them. Ryla was nineteen, female, had long blonde hair with sky blue tips, sea-green eyes, very tan skin that she had achieved by spending many many hours tanning on the beach, and had a very curvy form at all men fell for, though she never gave them the time of day. Today she was wearing a simple light blue jumpsuit with tiny otters all over it, and white sandals.

Ryla was definitely the softest and most friendly of Naida's six best friends, always concerned about others feelings, what she could do to always stay on their good side, and as if she had a sixth sense, she could always, always, tell when one of her friends is struggling. When this happens, she does everything in her power to help them out until she can see a smile on their face once again.

"Where the heck did you disappear to?" Mist demanded in a lower tone. Mist was Ryla's identical twin, and they found it amusing to keep it that way by always dressing and looking the same, the only way to tell them apart was from the small scar on Mist's ring finger, where she had once accidentally cut herself with a knife while cooking.
